In business for 32 years

A Peninsula business has recently celebrated 32 years' operation as one of the longest running businesses of its kind in the area.

Owners Jim and Anne Dixon first opened Woy Woy Automatics in 1976 at premises in Paton St, Woy Woy.

The business now runs out of a premise in Rawson Rd, Woy Woy.

According to Mr Dixon, the family business has seen many changes take place in the industry.

"... from the basic two and three speed transmissions to the sophisticated modern computer controlled four and five speed transmissions of today," Mr Dixon said.

"Specialist diagnostic electronic testing equipment is needed to diagnose faults in the modern day motor vehicle."

Mr Dixon said regular servicing is still the key to maintaining a reliable automatic transmission.
